The red star, a dwarf from the nearby vicinity, is only 11.56 light-years away and visible even with a small telescope at its 8.2 magnitude, about a quarter of a degree away from the star 26 And. A companion of brightness 10.6 magnitude orbits it at a distance of 35.5" in 2,600 years. The pair has a fast proper motion of 2.89" per year. Detailed drawings made at high magnifications once a year reveal this motion relative to the surrounding star field.
